Minority Chief Whip Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka has described as falsehood, the denial by parliament that some MPs have contracted covid-19.
Director of Public Affairs, Kate Addo on Wednesday discredited the report filed by Starrfm.com.gh that confirmed the news about the infections recorded in parliament.
According to her, the reports were false adding that results of Covid-19 tests conducted on the personnel had not been received at the time the website published the said story.
Barely 24hrs after the development, the Majority Chief Whip has come out to confirm the reports indicating that Parliament actually lied.
He’s revealed that two Parliamentarians and 13 staff have indeed tested positive for Covid-19.
According to him, the infected persons were informed of their status after Speaker of Parliament directed mass testing of all members and staff of the House last week.
Speaking on Joy Prime, the Chief Whip explained that the infected MPs and staff have been isolated while contact tracing has commenced.
